The Parts of a Flower

by Simone Colaco aged 10

I’m going to teach you
About
The parts of a flower

First comes the anther,
The little ones say panther
But all it contains is two pollen sacks

Next comes the filament,
Some get ligament tears
But all it does is it holds the anther

Then comes the sepal,
There’s many people
But all it does is protects the flower

After that comes the receptacle,
Some are celebrating festivals
But all it does is it holds the flower parts

Following that comes the nectary,
Some hate celery
But all it does is produces the nectar

After the nectary comes the style,
Some run a mile
But all it does is it supports the stigma

Next comes the ovary,
I’m just writing poetry
But all it contains is ovules

Then comes the stigma,
Some people are enigmas
But all it receives is pollen

Finally comes the petals
There are many metals
But all it attracts is bees

I hope you learnt
The parts of a flower
Oh no, I’m out of flour
